c) Calculate the length of the perimeter of triangle ABC: Begin with AB = (−6, −3, 3), BC = (9, −2, −4), CA = (3, −5, −1). Then |AB| + |BC| + |CA| = 7.35 + 10.05 + 5.91 = 23.32 1.3. The vector from the origin to the point A is given as (6, −2, −4), and the unit vector directed from the origin toward point B is (2, −2, 1)/3. If points A and B are ten units apart, find the coordinates of point B. With A = (6, −2, −4) and B = 1 B(2, −2, 1), we use the fact that |B − A| = 10, or 3 |(6 − 2 B)ax − (2 − 2 B)ay − (4 + 1 B)az | = 10 3 3 3 Expanding, obtain 36 − 8B + 4 B 2 + 4 − 8 B + 4 B 2 + 16 + 8 B + 1 B 2 = 100 9 3 9 3 9 or B 2 − 8B − 44 = 0. Thus B = B=

1.4. given points A(8, −5, 4) and B(−2, 3, 2), find: a) the distance from A to B. |B − A| = |(−10, 8, −2)| = 12.96 b) a unit vector directed from A towards B. This is found through aAB = B−A = (−0.77, 0.62, −0.15) |B − A|
c) a unit vector directed from the origin to the midpoint of
